League leaders Leicester will come into this match full of confidence knowing that a win would massively enhance their chances of winning the league this season. The Foxes currently hold a five point lead over second placed Tottenham who are set to go against Man City in the weekend's other top four clash.
It has been a combined effort from Claudio Ranieri's men but Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has singled out Riyad Mahrez for special praise labelling him as one of the league's most dominant players.
The Algerian has been a key figure for Leicester and has registered 14 goals this season also supplying 10 assists in 24 Premier League games. Wenger has claimed that the winger as well as league's top scorer Jamie Vardy will be difficult to contain.
"Maybe Vardy is a bigger goalscoring threat, whereas Mahrez is the bigger threat creating chances," he said. "That's why they are playing so well together.
"The amazing thing about Mahrez is that he not only creates a lot of chances but also scores plenty of goals. I didn't know him when he was playing in Ligue 2 but now he is one of the dominating players in the Premier League, so they have done very well to scout him."
"There is still a long way to go in the title race but they are in a very strong position. They have silenced their doubters," he remarked.
"Many people said they would no longer be among the top teams by Christmas but they are still there. They are very solid and got a great result against Manchester City.
"They still feel they have nothing to lose but they are top of the league and nerves can start playing a role. There is pressure on Arsenal as well but we see that as an opportunity to show what we can do.
Leicester will come into this match in buoyant mood having convincingly defeated the likes of Man City and Liverpool in their last two matches.
Arsenal have slowly started welcoming their injured players back to the squad, with Francis Coquelin having already made his recovery, Danny Welbeck is poised to return to the squad as well with the likes of Santi Cazorla and Jack Wilshere a few weeks away.
